Silent from Seoul

Okay, so I know I've been slacking on the blogging front lately, but it's still a whole lot better than my "blog" from last year... it lasted... erm... not very long. Anyway, I'm sorry for worrying you!

Okay, so here's how I'm going to do this.. because I have quite a few pictures and I don't want it to get long and confusing... I'm going to post the pictures and set the blog to "post it" the date that it happened. So, even though I did not actually write on 6/22, if something happened on 6/22 I will set my blog to say that I posted it on that date. Alright... here goes..

Church and Soccer

To the country!

Reunited and it feels so good...!

So, at the moment, I am in Korea, Richard (whom I met through my Korean class at NYU) is in Korea, Andrew Yi (also from Korean class at NYU) is in Korea, and our teacher is here! So, naturally, we got together.

Jjimdak.


Noraebang. Richard.


Noraebang. Richard and Andrew. Andrew is fond of TROT music. I don' tknow how to describe it. I guess it's like folk music. Only old people listen to it. Or country bumpkins (as far as stereotypes). Anyway, everyone knows a few songs. Andrew knows a lot. A lot a lot. His voice even does the same warbly thing that trot singers do. He also sang one K-pop song.


This is a vid Richard took of Andrew singing a k-pop song... Wonder Girls 쏘핫/So Hot.

This is our teacher. Pak Jeesun. She sang Backstreet Boys. Apparently she always sings Backstreet Boys. <3


Love~! I wish I didn't turn so red! There is no hiding a single drink...

So... there's also a vid of me kinda singing... something? Something N Sync. I don't remember, and I'm actually never going to watch that video. But I kinda felt like it would be unfair to post Andrew's vid and not mine... So, whatever. Don't hurt yourselves listening.

This is cool.

So my friends found this website. I think everyone could benefit. There are great things for all the kids' rooms. A ton reminded me of Lill. I think my mom might be able to make our eyes hurt just a little more in that kitchen... There are loads and loads of circly dots for Aunt Kath. GoGoGo!


(I write this on 6/19 but forgot to post it. It has been saved as a draft. Enjoy~! 6/28.)

압구정, Apgujeong

Apgujeong is one of the two areas known for the money that lives there. Apgu has the Rodeo Dr of Seoul and the highest concentration of plastic surgeons in the city. Here is a ad I saw in the subway for one of the plastic surgeons.


This is in the Apgu post because Apgu is where I teach English. This is something one of my students drew for me. She said to keep it "forever and ever and ever," and of course (you know me), I made a pinky promise that I would keep it "forever and ever and ever." I think this post should exist for about that long, right??


After work, Inseon's brother's girlfriend, Jihye came to Apgu to meet me for dinner. At this point, it was still mostly as if I did not have a boyfriend because Inseon had exams. He spent every night at the library until about 10:30... then came home to study more. This is where we ate. Pasta place. It was yummyy.


So, we called Hana and she said she'd come hang out with us for awhile. While we waited for her to get to Apgujeong (it takes about 40 minutes), Jihye and I walked around. There was a specialty shop for imported goods. Here is my favorite display. Ahh, the exotic taste of Campbell's....~~!


We went to a bar that Hana frequents since neither Jihye nor I knew the area. We girl talked, it was nice.


*I want to note that I'm in a dress. I've been spending a lot of time in skirts and dresses lately. I don't know what's going on. I just wanted to pointe it out. ...Er... Point it out.

A Day of Eating

Raven's cousins took us out for lunch. Read the menu carefully. There is only so much most of our can read. I'm sure you'll find my reason for posting this soon. ^^


This is us. I'm not going to bother writing names because I don't remember her cousins' names and you should all know which one I am. I'm sitting next to Raven.

After lunch, Raven and I rushe to meet Richard and some of his friends for dinner. I didn't take pictures there. Mmm... Sorry, I'm rushing through these... belated updates. I can't think of anything witty or exciting to say at the moment... I'm just trying to make sure to prove to everyone that I've been having a happy and fulfilling existence, despite the lack of blogging. <3
